Hello all! I got my polo back from the garage the other day (again!) and after having so much work done to it including a service i though i might as well try some of those fuel additives. never tried them before but ive always wanted to give them a go. so i paid for the most expensive one in the shop, wynns gold formula petrol additive to clean out the valves etc. dont know if its a placebo effect or not but after a few miles i thought it ran a bit smoother with a very slight increase in acceleration (especially when the engine entered the torque band).

has anyone else had any experience with these? does the ones designed as an octane booster really make any notable difference?
